I spoke with the recruiter a few times before coming onsite twice to interview. Everyone seemed very nice at first, but then it got silly at best and inappropriate/invasive at worst. Before the final interview, I was given a questionnaire asking things like your high school rank, high school GPA, and how your college education was paid for (seriously). I left those blank because 1) I graduated high school over 15 years ago and no legitimate company has ever asked this. 2) It's nobody's business who funded my education and 3) I knew I wasn't going to accept any offer and was just curious to see where the discussion about the blank answers would go. During the final interview, I almost burst out laughing when I was asked what % I contributed to my tuition by working odd jobs as a student. By the end of the process, it was glaringly obvious that I wasn't playing the game and didn't want to work there. It would be too big of an opportunity cost to make a desperate decision to work for yet another tech startup with no unique product or plan aside from hoping to get acquired within the next few years. Oh - I forgot one more doozy. It's the candidate's responsibility to set up conference calls with references/previous managers. Bottom line: No doubt there are worse places to work and Slicktext might be a nice place to land your first role out of school, but desperation rarely leads to good decision making. I was confident that my experience was just a preview of coming attractions.
